THE LoNasHoREMENs STRIKE.
The Vessels Being Loaded by Their
Crews With little Delay.

The Vessels Being Loaded by Their
Crews With Title Delay.
There was no material change in the sit
uation along the wharves yesterday, so far
as the lumber longshoremen are concerned.
A Norwegian vessel that Mr.. j. Bennett
was loading was nearly finished when the
strike was ordered, and a gang worked four
hours, completing her cargo They received
the new scale of wages for their work Late
Thursday evening the Captain of the
American schooner Wapella found that he
needed only 5000 feet TO finish, and he tried
to get the longshoremen to put it in, but
they refused to move a stick unless they re-
ceived the higher wages, SO the Captain and
crew turned in and loaded il themselves
They finished her up and yesterday she put
to sea.
The bark Milton will be ready for sea
to-day. The Captain of the Francis E. Var
nall is anxious to get out, and he and
his crew are loading the vessel. The ship
pers and Captains do not propose to be
Inconvenience TO any great extept by
the strike, and though it may force them to
adopt heroic methods they will stand out
against the demand
A little trouble occurred between MIR.
Dixon, of Dale, Dixon & Co., and
Capt. Ramsey yesterday. Mr.. Dixon
su.u ohao Nt'Pe' nalssy was 10 u Ger
tain extent responsible for the stand taken
by tho men, because he had said i'll an inter
view that the men would get what they
wanted. Capt. Ramsey said that the long
shoremen would probably get what they
asked from foreign vessels, but the Ameri-
can ships would not pay the advance with
out fight, and the loading of the Norwegian
bark and the action of the American Cap
tains and crews bears out the statement.
II was also intimated by some OF the Cap
tain's enemies that the Longshoremen's AS
ISOLATION had been more or less Influenced
by him, but he denied that he was in any
way connected with or responsible for the
strike. He has never had any connection
with the association because it is an organi
zation of colored men, He is affected as
stevedore but not otherwise

PLUCKY MEMPHIANS WIN
THE HOME TEAM OUTPLAYED AT
EVERY POINT.

Speed's Men Give the Savannahiars
Some Points in Batting and Fielding
Nashville Rattles the Carolinians-
The Savannah Directors Release
Emslie.
About 800 people saw the home club
wiped out by the Memphians yesterday. 1t
was the first game of the Savannah Mem
phis series, and the way it ended does not
offer the home club rluch encouragement
for the rest of the games.
The locals were outbatted and outfelded,
in fact they were outplayed at every point.
Tricky" Nichols was raped all over the
field. Veach was batted freely, but the
visitors, sharp fielding kept the score down.
The locals errors were costly and were
made at critical points. Peltz played at
short during the first part of the game long
enough to show that he could do better
work in the outfeld Dallas then went
to short, and Hutchinson, who
played centre field, shifted over to
right field. The change did not better
things very much.
The visitors played well together, and
batted bard. Sneed, Doyle, Force and
Black each got in two-bagger, and
beaten in the first two innings. They
failed to score until the eighth,
when by lucky hits and Memphis
errors they got in runs Another run III
the ninth inning was the last that was made.
The visitors, having already won the game,
did not go to the bat again. The following
is the score:

THE FERTILIZER INTERESTS.
A Movement on Foot to Establish q
Factory in Savannah.

"A movement on FOOT TO ESTABLISH q
Factory in Savannah.
Mr.. Pascal Davie, of Petersburg, Va, is
in the city with one or two other gentlemen
looking at various sites with view to es-
tablishing fertilizer factory. They have
been here several days and have spent good
deal of time in examining locations that
have been suggested, and prospecting in
other directions to determine the advisability
OF starting the works They are prepared
to begin operations at once ii the prospects
are such as to induce them to carry out their
purpose They have been in consultation
with several gentlemen here, who will be
interested with them in their venture if it is
consunmated. 1t is understood that they
have been greatly encouraged to proceed
with the work and to begin operations as
soon as possible.
Mr.. DAVE was seen last night, but he de-
clined to make any statement concerning
the scheme further than that a syndicate is
looking over the field to judge of the posi-
bilities of such an establishment. No steps
toward organizing the company or begin
ming the erection of the works has been
taken. In fact, what the gentlemen are
now doing is only to decide whether they
will carry out the idea or let it drop
The establishment of fertilizer factories in
Savannah has been discussed before, and
although those who had the matter in hand
found that this is an exceedingly favorable
point for such an industry and that all the
interests necessarily involved are ready and
willing to encourage them, for some reason,
the schemes have fallen through This,
however, seems to give more promise of
fulfillment, and it is not at all Improbable
that within very short time the announce
ment viii be made that the mill will be be-
gun at once.

An Astonished Lady.


A queer story was told yesterday by a
well known society man. He said "A lady,
who had grown tired of the setting of her
diamond ring, called at Tiffany's this week,
and described the setting she would like.
The attendant casually examined the ring,
and greatly astonished the lady when he re:
marked: Madam, this is not diamond, it's
glass The lady replied that it couldn't be
possible, the ring, was her engagement
ring, and added: "My earrings were given
me at the same time by my husband The
attendant asked her to permit him
to examine the earrings, and these
also were discovered to be glass
of very fine quality. The lady
told the young man that the ring and the
earrings were bought at Tiffany's, and the
books proved that she was correct and that
the young man whose wife she was on the
day he gave them to her had paid mighty
good price for them. The mystery deepened,
but all that the clerk could say was that the
diamonds had been out of Tiffany's place
for number of years. The lady returned
to her home. She then recalled that she had
dismissed her butler several weeks before,
and questioning the servants about him she
learned that he had frequently mentioned
that lie was jeweler in France or Germany.
The lady concluded that he had removed her
diamonds, and Inspector Byrnes is looking
for that jeweler-butlern

OIL TRUSTS BIG RIVAL.
THE SOUTHERN CoMPANY'S MILL
III SAVANNAH.

The Site About Located and Work to
Begin at Once-The Mill to be Com
pleted in Three Months at Cost of
100000.
General Manager Fred Oliver, of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, is in the city
for the purpose Of selecting a site for the
co,npany's mill here. This is Mr.. divers
second visit to Savannah in connection with
:he enterprise. The MORNING NEWS has
already stated the company's plans.
The two sites which Mr. Oliver and Mr..
Lewis Haskell, who is to be manager of the
mill, have had under consideration are one
at the Central railroad and Charleston and
Savannah railway crossing and another on
the Vale Royal plantation west OF the Ocean
Steamship wharves. The company has
about agreed upon the latter site, which is
nearer the city than the other.
THE cITY's INDUCEMENTS.
The City Council has approved a bill,
which will be introduced in the next Legis-
lature amending the act of 1888 extending
the city limits so as TO exempt from city
taxation all real estate and improvements
lying north of the Louisville road and west
of the city limits as they existed before
the passage of the present law, while the
property is used for agricultural or manu-
featuring purposes, or until the plan of the
city is extended over that section. The oil
company's representatives urged this
measure before locating the site.
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
Mr. Oliver said last night that work will
begin on the mill next week. The buildings
viii be chiefly of brick and it is expected
will be finished and ready for the machinery
in July. The first cost of the Savannah mill
and machinery will be $4,000. The build
ings will be the same size as those at Mont
gomery and Atlanta but at present, owing
70 the fact that it is impossible to get all the
machinery this year, the capacity of the
mill will, at the start, be only one half that
of the other mills.
CAPACITY or THE MILL
As soon as the machinery can be built it
will be put in and the capacity of the mill
will be doubled.
Mr.. Oliver says that everything will be
in shape and the mill win be ready for opera
ton before the season opens here, which
will not be much before Oct. /. The
capacity of the mill at the start will be
about 80 tons of seed per day. A good
deal depends on the condition of the seed,
whether it is wet or dry. If wet the mill
will not be able to handle much over so
ons.
THE HANDS EMPLOYED.
The enterprise viii at first give employ
ment to about fifty hands, but as soon as
new machinery is added the number of
hands employed viii be doubled. The Sa-
vanI1ah works will have the same capacity
as those at Columbia, S. G.
1t was the company's intention to build
one large mill at Charleston, but failing to
secure suitable site upon reasonable terms
it decided to build two mills, one here and
the other at Columbia. Mr.. Oliver will be
in the city until the location of site is fully
determined, and all arrangements are made
for beginning work.

THE STREET PAVING LAW.
A Move to Secure It's Amendment by
the Next Legislature.


The City Council has been considering for
some time the advisability of securing an
amendment to the street paving law. Under
the law as it now stands the city cannot
pave any street unless the owners of ma
jority of the property fronting on the street.
or on that part Of it which it is proposed to
pave, first petition the city for the improve
ment.
II the city desires to extend the Brough-
ton street pavement from Abercorn to East
Broad it cannot do so unless the owners of a
majority Of the property desire it and they
petition the City Council to that effect.

sion Of the Legislature amending the law so
that the Council may use its discretion as TO
what streets are 10 be paved. A
bill has already been drafted and
will be presented to the Council
at its next meeting for approval In the
event of its passage by the Legislature, one
half of Liberty street and probably one OF
two other streets will be paved, whereas
